Don't forget to grab your free scripture journal at PrayingChristianWomen.com/journal today!What happens when our prayers become so filtered and "spiritual" that we lose the raw honesty of what we actually desire? In this episode, Jaime and Alana take a 180-degree and head straight to Broadway. They dive into the concept of the musical theater "I want" song, using Tevye's famous track "If I Were a Rich Man" from Fiddler on the Roof as a surprisingly profound template for prayer. They discuss the danger of censoring our conversations with God, the freedom of bringing our most "frivolous" desires to Him, and how peeling back the layers of wanting money or status often reveals a pure, God-given need for security, respect, or peace. Alana highlights how teaching middle schoolers about Disney character motivations led her to realize that every superficial desire has a deeper "prayer behind the prayer." Meanwhile, Jaime gets remarkably candid about a recent camping trip, unpacking her own guilt over wanting to look good in a swimsuit and tracing it down to a beautiful, core desire to remain healthy, strong, and capable of caring for her family. Along the way, they swap practical wisdom on stripping away the "judgy Christian hat" that shames women for wanting a financial cushion, beautiful spaces, or basic human respect. From the reality of a mother's innate drive to provide, to Tevye's ultimate wish for simply having the time to sit and pray, they offer a refreshing perspective on approaching God exactly as you are—without pretending to be someone you aren't. Whether you are stressing over your bank account, feeling guilty for caring about your appearance, or simply longing for a more conversational, authentic relationship with the Lord, we hope this episode encourages you to stop editing your prayers, uncover the true desires of your heart, and confidently bring your uncensored self to the Father.

July 5, 2026We live in a world that ascribes value and status based upon wealth, creating an enduring divide between "The Have's" and "The Have Not's". However, for those "in Christ," status is defined not by wealth but by our secure position as children of God. This identity will be constantly tested by worldly pressures, requiring us to remain steadfast by fixing our eyes on Him, refusing to let the world's appraisal dictate our worth, and instead viewing ourselves and others through the lens of how God sees His Son.James 1:9-11

Today the Prime Minister is expected to apologise on behalf of the state for its role in historical forced adoptions. Thousands of unmarried women were pressured into giving up their babies in the 30 years after the Second World War. Krupa Padhy talks to two women who are keenly awaiting this apology - Zara who was adopted, but tracked down her birth mother when she was aged 23 and Susan whose baby was taken from her when she was 16.A large multinational cohort study published in June provides important new evidence of the increased risk of cardiovascular events for women who have premature and early menopause, across ethnic groups.

This week, Zach talked about the parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus from Luke 16, showing how Jesus contrasts two very different lives and their eternal outcomes. Using stories from El Salvador, Zach reminded students that our hope in Christ is enough and that eternity with God makes the struggles of this life worth enduring. He emphasized that Jesus came not to scare people into faith, but to rescue them through His grace and offer salvation to everyone. Zach concluded by challenging students to love and care for others, reminding them that the choices they make have both present and eternal consequences.

Many people grow up around faith, attend church, and know about God. But there is a huge difference between knowing about Jesus and truly knowing Him personally.In this encouraging and heartfelt conversation, John Martin sits down with Richman Priestly to share a story of faith, family, and discovering the life-changing reality of a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.Richman grew up in a Christian home where the Bible, prayer, and the work of the Holy Spirit were a natural part of everyday life. Raised by parents who passionately pursued God, he was exposed from an early age to powerful examples of faith, worship, and hearing God's voice.Yet despite that strong foundation, Richman realized there comes a point when every person must encounter God for themselves.For him, that defining moment came during his freshman year of college.After changing his summer plans and attending a Christian discipleship program, Richman experienced a powerful encounter with the Holy Spirit during a worship service. As he worshiped, he felt overwhelmed by the presence and love of God in a way he had never experienced before.During that moment, God began revealing His purpose and calling over Richman's life.What started as a single encounter became the beginning of a deeper journey—one marked by intimacy with Jesus, a love for God's Word, and a passion to help others experience God for themselves.Throughout the conversation, Richman emphasizes that Christianity is not merely about religion, church attendance, or good behavior. At its core, it is about knowing Jesus personally.He points to the words of the Apostle Paul:“I count everything as loss compared to the surpassing value of knowing Christ Jesus.”For Richman, this has become the pursuit of his life.He also shares an important message for those carrying shame, guilt, brokenness, or feelings of unworthiness. No matter your background, your failures, or your past mistakes, Jesus is still pursuing you. His love is not reserved for perfect people—it is available to everyone willing to receive it.One of the most powerful themes discussed is the fear of the Lord—not fear rooted in terror, but a deep reverence and love for God that causes us to desire what He desires and turn away from what separates us from Him.Richman explains that true transformation happens when we begin to care about what God cares about and allow our hearts to become aligned with His.This conversation offers practical encouragement for anyone wanting to grow closer to God:Spend daily time in God's Word.Develop a personal prayer life.Get connected to a Christ-centered church.Surround yourself with believers who encourage and strengthen your faith.And most importantly, pursue a genuine relationship with Jesus.God is not looking for perfection.He is inviting you into relationship.You are loved.You are wanted.And no matter where you are today, Jesus is still calling you closer.What would change in your life if your greatest goal became simply knowing Jesus more deeply?Contact Richman Priestly:
David Richman continues to add to his legacy at North Dakota State University, leading the Bison to another Summit League Championship and NCAA Tournament appearance this past season. In the process, NDSU set a program record for wins in a single season, further cementing the team's place among the nation's top mid-major programs. More than a decade removed from winning a conference title in his first season as head coach, Richman has once again guided the Bison to the top of the Summit League.What makes NDSU's success particularly impressive is its consistency in an era of constant change across college athletics. Richman has been a part of the program since 2003, helping establish a culture built on player development, accountability, and long-term success. While roster turnover and transfer portal movement have become the norm throughout college basketball, the Bison have remained one of the sport's most stable programs, with Richman's leadership serving as the foundation for that sustained success.Now, the focus shifts to building on another championship season and continuing the standard that has defined NDSU basketball for years. As the program looks toward future Summit League titles and NCAA Tournament appearances, Richman is also closing in on becoming the all-time winningest coach in school history. With his impact already deeply woven into the fabric of the program, another milestone appears well within reach as he continues to shape the next chapter of Bison basketball.
In this episode, we dive deep into a hot-button topic that many waterfowlers are starting to ask: Has duck hunting become a rich man's sport? From rising lease prices and expensive gear to limited public access and overcrowded WMAs, we're taking a hard look at where the duck hunting world stands today.We'll explore how the landscape has shifted over the years, what's driving the cost of entry higher, and whether the traditional, working-class roots of the sport are being priced out. More importantly, we'll ask: What does the future of duck hunting look like for the next generation?

Does the Shroud of Turin prove Jesus' resurrection? In this episode, Dr. E tackles one of Christianity's most debated artifacts: the Shroud of Turin. While many believers see the shroud as compelling evidence for Christ's crucifixion and resurrection, Dr. Easley explains why he remains unconvinced that it is Jesus' actual burial cloth. Drawing from biblical theology, church history, archaeology, and first-century Jewish burial practices, Dr. Easley discusses why faith ultimately rests on Scripture—not relics. He explores the dangers of elevating artifacts above God's Word, addresses common arguments for the shroud's authenticity, and explains why the greatest obstacle to belief is not a lack of evidence. Whether you're fascinated by archaeology, apologetics, or the evidence for Christianity, this conversation will challenge you to think carefully about where faith is grounded. Chapters 00:00 Introduction 00:48 What Is the Shroud of Turin? 01:03 Dr. Easley's Short Answer 01:32 Why Christians Can Become Focused on Artifacts 02:15 Norman Geisler's Argument About Relics 03:04 The Real Problem Isn't Lack of Evidence 03:50 Archaeology and Biblical Faith 04:35 First-Century Jewish Burial Practices 05:24 Historical Questions About the Shroud 06:15 Does the Blood Evidence Make Sense? 06:50 Can God Use the Shroud Evangelistically? 07:38 Can Truth Come Through Unexpected Sources? 08:10 Why the Shroud Isn't Necessary for Faith 08:50 The Rich Man and Lazarus Connection 09:25 Why People Still Reject Jesus 10:00 Final Thoughts Key Topics Covered The Shroud of Turin explained Is the Shroud of Turin authentic?

Jesus warns of the danger of spiritual blindness. The tragedy in this parable is not wealth itself, but the failure to see the suffering right in front of us. The Kingdom calls us to notice the overlooked, to resist indifference, and to align our hearts with God's concern for the vulnerable.⚫CONNECT WITH US:
In Luke 16:19–31, Jesus contrasts the rich man and Lazarus, revealing God's upside-down kingdom where worldly success is not the measure of faithfulness. This sermon explores the temptation to admire religious power and cultural influence while reminding Christians that their true hope is found in Christ crucified and risen for the forgiveness of sins. Through His humiliation, death, and resurrection, Jesus rescues sinners from judgment and grants eternal life.

The Rich Man and Lazarus - Luke 16:19-31
Journey Church Sunday Worship Gathering Audio - Bozeman, Montana
Logan Holloman | Next Gen Pastor | May 24, 2026 Referenced Scripture: Luke 16:19-31, Colossians 1:16, Romans 1:28-31 Reflection Questions: 1. When you hear the question, “How could a loving God send people to hell?”, what emotions or assumptions immediately come to mind? How did this message challenge, deepen, or reshape the way you think about that question? 2. The sermon described hell as “the final form of exile from God” rather than simply punishment. How does viewing the Bible through the lens of creation, fall, redemption, and restoration change the conversation about judgment? 3. In Luke 16, the rich man's deepest issue was not wealth, but a heart curved inward on itself. Where are you tempted to become spiritually indifferent—to God, to others, or to suffering around you? 4. The cross shows Jesus entering our exile to bring us home. What stands out most to you about the idea that God personally stepped into judgment and suffering for humanity? 5. The sermon ended with the question: “Who am I becoming?” What habits, loves, priorities, or patterns are currently shaping your heart? Are they moving you toward deeper communion with God and others—or further inward toward self-centeredness? What's your next step? Connect: We'd love to connect with you!

Creative work is often romanticized as spontaneous: a flash of inspiration, a breakthrough moment, a burst of talent. In reality, many artists discover that creativity is less about sudden genius and more about the systems, rituals, and relationships that help ideas grow over time. For Oliver Richman, creativity has been both an early spark and an evolving practice. As a child, his performances found an audience far beyond his years, from a widely shared rendition of "Defying Gravity" to performing alongside Stevie Wonder at just ten years old. Since then, he has continued exploring new creative paths: studying drama at NYU Tisch, writing and directing numerous projects, and building an online community through his ambitious song-a-day practice. In this episode, Oliver reflects on balancing spontaneity with structure, building meaningful connections with online audiences, and why creativity thrives when treated as a daily practice. ----- LINKS Oliver Richman: https://oliverrichman.com/ Oliver's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/oliverrichman11/ Oliver's TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@oliverrichman The New York Public Library for the Performing Arts: https://www.nypl.org/locations/lpa

You can find Alyson Richman at www.alysonrichman.com or on IG @alysonrichman. If you're a historical fiction lover, you've probably read something by Alyson Richman. She's the author of 11 novels, including The Missing Pages, which was published last fall. We were delighted that she agreed to come on the show and speak to us about this book, although we did sneak in a question about The Velvet Hours published in 2016, which our book club read many years ago. It is about a real Paris courtesan in the Belle Epoque who in her later years as World War II approaches shares her life story with her granddaughter. The Missing Pages is a historical fiction novel that is about a man's love of books, but it is also a ghost tale, a romance, and a story of the Titanic all rolled into one. Richman is known for making the reader feel the sumptuous details of the world she is writing about, and she does it again in this book. Our book rec segment of the show is all about musicians, but we're not talking solely about musician memoirs, although we do have one of those. We've got a children's nonfiction book about a Ukrainian pianist who performed for Nazsis, a National Book Award winner, a mystery about a stolen violin, a story about a wedding singer whose own relationship is on the rocks, and a coming of age story set in the 1970s that includes a rock star.

Police in Saratoga Springs, Utah, are searching for Dane Richman, 46, and his sons: 10-month-old Wesley and 22-month-old Will. Police issued an Amber Alert after Richman failed to meet the mother of the boys for a planned custody exchange on Saturday May 23. Prior to that, police say Richman sold his house, was depressed and took other measures to buy time so he could flee to Mexico.

A real client conversation turns into a real Gospel question: if a Christian builds something that genuinely helps people—and it becomes financially successful—how do you reconcile that with Jesus' warning that it's hard for the rich to enter the Kingdom? Joe Rockey brings the tension to Father Boniface Hicks and pressure-tests the advice he gave: Jesus didn't condemn “business” when He flipped the tables; the deeper issue was blocking outsiders from worship. And the parable of the talents points to growth and stewardship—God needs people who can carry “five talents” without losing their souls.Father affirms the direction, but sharpens the edge: Scripture's warnings about wealth aren't about cash being evil—they're about what wealth tempts us to believe. Money, honor, power, and pleasure can become idols because they create the illusion that I can provide for myself, so I don't need God. That's the rub: when things break, do I fall back on the Lord—or do I buy my way out, control my way out, reputation-manage my way out? Poverty can be “blessed” because it forces dependence: The Lord is my shepherd—not the bank account.And the Gospel is not simplistic. Jesus Himself relied on benefactors: wealthy women supported His ministry; He had the Upper Room; He rode a colt; He was buried in a new tomb; He was anointed with costly nard. The point is order: have resources, put them at His feet, and use them to build up the Church and love in the world—without claiming they're “mine.” Father shares an example of a wealthy man who sees money as God's to steward, discerns carefully how to spend and give, and feels the weight of accountability.Joe closes with a practical business litmus test: is the business making clients' lives better—and treating employees in a way that makes their lives better? If yes, the work can be noble. If no, the conscience conflict is a signal.Key IdeasWealth isn't automatically evil; the danger is idolatry: money as a substitute shepherd.The parable of the talents calls for stewardship and growth—not fear-driven hiding.“Blessed are the poor” can mean: fewer fallbacks force deeper trust in God.Those with more have more accountability; gifts aren't “mine”—they can vanish tomorrow.Gospel balance: Jesus accepted costly gifts and benefactors; the call is to order wealth under love and mission.Practical test: does the business improve clients' lives and treat employees with dignity?Scripture Mentioned (no links)Parable of the talentsRich young man“Blessed are the poor”“What do you have that you have not received?” (St. Paul)Acts of the Apostles community sharing (“placed at the apostles' feet”)Links & References (official/source only)None explicitly referenced with clear official/source URLs in this transcript.

We've all been told money isn't everything. Most of us would nod our heads and agree. But do we live like that's true? Today, we delve into a story that Jesus told, not just as a parable but as a sobering reminder of the eternal consequences of our earthly choices. Join me as we examine the story of the Rich Man and Lazarus, a narrative that challenges us to live lives marked by compassion, faith, and a forward-looking gaze toward eternity. Some commentators say that this isn't a parable at all, but an actual account of two men with vastly different fates. Either way, this story is complex, and hard to wrestle with. But don't lose heart; there's a flicker of hope in every dark story… Go to JesusPodcast.com and receive daily devotionals about Jesus.Today's Bible verse is Mark 16:6 from the King James Version.Download the Pray.com app for more Christian content including, Daily Prayers, Inspirational Testimonies, and Bedtime Bible Stories.Pray.com is the digital destination for faith.

What if the core story of the Bible isn't actually about going to heaven or hell when you die? In this episode, we explore the profound biblical narrative of heaven and earth being reunited and what that means for our understanding of eternal life. Join Mike Erre and Tim Stafford as they dive deep into the scriptures to uncover a story that is much more beautiful and human than the traditional "fire insurance" gospel many of us were taught.We start by looking at the book of Genesis to understand the true nature of humanity, described as a combination of dirt and divine breath. The conversation shifts the focus away from a fear-based theology and toward the restoration of our humanity. We discuss how the Tree of Life represents a choice to live in alignment with divine wisdom and how Jesus acts as the ultimate fulfillment of that choice. By examining the imagery of the cross as a tree, we see how God transforms a curse into the very source of life for the world.Key topics in this episode include:The difference between a heaven-centric story and a heaven-and-earth story.Why humans are not naturally immortal and what the word nephesh really means.The imagery of hell as containment and protection rather than just a place of torture.How sin acts as an anti-human force that degrades our true identity.The hope of a physical resurrection and what it means to live for the kingdom today.Chapters:0:00 Intro and Allergy Update2:45 Recapping the Eternal Life Conversation6:15 Heaven and Earth vs Heaven and Hell9:30 Hell as a Place of Containment and Protection13:00 The Rich Man and Lazarus Parable16:45 Human Nature: Dirt and Divine Breath20:15 The Two Trees and Life 2.024:00 Defining Good and Evil (Tov and Ra)28:15 Death as the Separation of Unity32:00 Jesus as the Living Tree of Life36:30 Refining Fire and the Good News of Judgment40:45 Why the New Testament Calls the Cross a Tree45:00 Sin as an Anti-Human Construct49:30 Physical Resurrection and the Preview of New Creation53:15 Moving Beyond Fear-Based Discipleship57:19 Closing and Support InfoAs always, we encourage and would love discussion as we pursue.
